Getting an "APPLY NOW" e-mail is kind of irksome since I HAVE DONE and no invite

Hah happy I'm not the only one who received that crappy email asking for more testers while I applied from the beginning... (EU region).
This is complete crap, seriously.

if($alphaapply == 0) {
send.mail = 1;
} else {
send.mail = 0;
}

By the way I think the selection process is completely random.. So we're just unlucky (and trolled :D).

Actually this doesn't work because it's one application per SE account with an active FFXIV account not one application per active FFXIV account. The people getting their second and third invites weren't stupid enough to link their buddy pass and third alts to the same SE account. They will get multiple applications in beta the same way.

It doesn't affect things a huge way because of the way invites are sent out. If someone has three alpha invites but is only using one of them those extra two slots will go out to other people because SE are monitoring logins rather than invite numbers.

I'm sorry but this has gone too far, please STFU.

Ah basic programming but I doubt that is the kind of program they would use since it would send an email to anyone that applies...

Well apparently people have gotten invites that didn't apply...

I'm really sick of these baseless rumors. You don't get in without an application, you can't apply without an active account... and you either have an active account or you don't have an account at all.

And active FFXIV account is the one that pops up when it says "Active" under your options list. If you "deactivate", the account DISAPPEARS.

a friend did get in without application cause he wasnt able to apply cause of no active acount. I visited him yesterday an he has alpha access for sure...

some guy was so angry after he got that mail he's writing some devastating player reviews on some gaming sites.

Who really cares about that? Opinions from a certain Player because he is butthurt? Seriously.. people need to grow up.

well, i think irrational actions can cause irrational reactions.
not that it's our business tho.

I already accepted that SE will probably not send me an invitation into the Alpha. I kind of got tired of being constantly disappointed with them or checking my e-mail at 4AM in the morning for that matter. There will probably be plenty of that when they don't invite me into Beta.

It hasn't happened to me, but I bet it is a real kick in the knee when you see that e-mail for it to just to find out it is only to apply to something you already did. Not only that, it feels incredibly insulting for the team to come into this thread and throw that generic message in there. I am not saying you should apologize reps, but if you are going to respond to a thread like this, do a better job of it.

Not that I'm all that disappointed, but the rep response was classic SE customer (dis)service.

SE isn't alone in that either, good customer service is very rare these days. That's especially true as companies strive to get more and more out of their fewer and fewer employees, all while paying each one less and less comparative to cost of living. It's a sad reality of the world we live in today.
